If you ask me, this here is the single least terrible film in the entire series. It blows my mind and breaks my heart every time I watch it. Then again, I've always had a thing for inherently weird, surreal films. Plus, I don't know why, but I find the lead female in this movie to be mesmerizingly attractive.

Right at the beginning of the movie, the screen at the center of the ship's instrument panel flashes "KY," and immediately after the pilot says "Sergei" as two distinct syllables so it comes out sounding more like "they're gay!" I don't know what Joel could have done with that, really, especially back then, but it kind of feels like a missed opportunity.

Out of curiosity, I looked up the phone number to see who has it now. Apparently, it belongs to a store called Latino Groceries (although that's not the number listed on their very bare bones website). I wonder if they get random calls from drunk MSTies.

'Bon, bon, bon, mahato bon....' Choppy but not too unbearable until they get to Dessa. Most annoyed by too many hairy moles and shots of Niya looking wide-eyed into the camera. Joel and the bots kept me sane.

Reading through these comments it seems like this movie is pretty divisive. Personally I really like it. It reminds me of how Joel describes Robot Monster, "it's cool in a kind of dark, surrealistic way." Actually, more than anything else, this movie makes me think of the original Tarkovsky version of "Solaris". It's like an extended fever dream put to film.

Jeez, these episodes were so badly made .. They totally lack energy, and direction. I mean in know these were the early years and all but .. Damn! They really had no screen presence at all. Thankfully season 2 picked up nicely with Kevin Murphy. It's just surprising to see Joel and company act so blandly here.

This may be the strangest movie ever given the official MST3K treatment; it's certainly one of the most thoroughly butchered. Between its original theatrical release and the the making of this episode, "Humanoid Woman" has been

...assembled from portions of two feature-length movies

...translated from Russian to English

...re-released as two feature-length movies with a new translation

...handed over to Sandy Frank for the usual treatment

...pared down by BBI to fit the KTMA timeslot.

Small wonder that the movie makes as much sense as it does; although parts of it would not, I suspect, make sense under any circumstances. Why create an army of androgynous Sinead O'Connoroids in the first place? Who decided to cast a thirty-eight-year-old actor as a teenage gymnast, and two women of roughly the same age as his mother and grandmother? What in the blue blazes is going on with everyone's hair?!
